WHO ARE WE?

The non-profit Vagabundos del Mar Boat and Travel Club was "born"
in 1966 when a few good buddies began adventuring into Baja California
and mainland Mexico, looking for good fishing spots. In 1971, "the
Vags" were incorporated as a non-profit social club, dedicated to
helping members make friends and have fun. Today, the Vags are Baja's
oldest travel club, with 10,000+ members. The club is still non-profit,
and still dedicated to its original mission:

"Helping its members travel safely, economically and enjoyably
in all of North America, especially Baja California."

THE MOST
EXPERIENCED CLUB

Vagabundos del Mar is governed by a member-elected board consisting
of the gnarliest bunch of Baja veterans who ever hitched up a boat trailer!
You'll be hard-pressed to name any spot in Baja that hasn't been visited
by the Vags. Our club goes back over 45 years, to the early days of
Ray Cannon, noted author of The Sea of Cortez. In
fact, some of the most popular Baja travel books and guides have been
authored by Vagabundos. Perhaps you've seen or read some of them:

Our office staff is second to none when it comes to handling your needs.
It is routinely stated that if you want to get it done quickly, or know
where to get information, Vag HQ is the place to contact!

We really do know Baja best.
